Operations in Poland

Concessions – 242, 243 and Laski

Celtique’s Polish concessions lie in the southwest of the country adjacent to the German Border. The concessions lie in the western extension of the South Permian basin in which over 200tcf of gas has been discovered. The 243 and 242 concessions were awarded to Celtique in October 2007 for an initial 5 year term, whilst the Laski concession was awarded in August 2008 for an initial 6-year term. The concessions cover an area of 1735 sq kms.

Celtique has a 100% operated interest in the concession.

The exploration objective in the area is the Permian Zechstein carbonates. Recent exploration in the area has resulted in significant discoveries on trend at BMB and Lubiatow. The area has lain fallow for over 20 years since the oil price collapse of the mid-1980s.

The reservoir objective is Permian Zechstein carbonates deposited in both barrier and talus settings. The key to exploring for both objectives is the acquiring new seismic through the location of porosity in the barrier facies and talus deposits in a downslope setting, allowing the recognition of potential stratigraphic trapping opportunities. Thick overlying salts and anhydrites seal the interval. The organically rich oil-prone Zechstein shales provide the source for the system.

A secondary objective is the Permian Rotliegendes sands. The interval is sealed by thick overlying evaporites and is sourced by the underlying Carboniferous shales and coals. The trapping mechanism is block-faulted highs.

In the 242 concession there are the Sekowice and Czeklin gas discoveries. The Sekowice gasfield appears to be the eastern extension of the Schlagsdorf gasfield which is located in Celtique’s Guben Licence in Germany.

Subject to permitting approvals, Celtique plans to shoot new seismic.
